Relief
Relief is a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo, to raise. To create a sculpture in relief is to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane. What is actually performed when a relief is cut in from a flat surface of stone (relief sculpture) or wood (relief carving) is a lowering of the field, leaving the unsculpted parts seemingly raised. The technique involves considerable chiselling away of the background, which is a time-consuming exercise. On the other hand, a relief saves forming the rear of a subject, and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round, especially one of a standing figure where the ankles are a potential weak point, especially in stone. In other materials such as metal, clay, plaster stucco, ceramics or papier-mache the form can be just added to or raised up from the background, and monumental bronze reliefs are made by casting.
Terrain
Terrain, or land relief, is the vertical and horizontal dimension of land surface. When relief is described underwater, the term bathymetry is used.
Terrain is used as a general term in physical geography, referring to the lay of the land. This is usually expressed in terms of the elevation, slope, and orientation of terrain features. Terrain affects surface water flow and distribution. Over a large area, it can affect weather and climate patterns.
Importance
The understanding of terrain is critical for many reasons:

Relief
Proudly I'm walking,
straight to my fortune
I'm not cringing, not blind, not in fear.
I know it my buddy,
Now nothing can stop me.
Sometimes it makes me cry,
When I see dull hoard standing in my way.
I keep on walking, under arms.
Who touched me, has got to pay.
Palm your hand in mine
I'm going to tell you, what's hidden in you.
Maybe we'll break the line
But the price is always too high.
What's on your mind when you look to sky full of stars
What will you learn from the whisper of the night time
breeze
How blissful is to stay awake today
I'm completely happy just to be next to you.
And I'm not alone,
we know what we know.
One as another
Scatlet sunrise on the horizon.
There all ends as well as begins.
